Online Basic Orton-Gillingham Training Institute with Practicum

Course Training Dates are Feb. 26, 2018 to May 18, 2018

This course is now full - please consider registering for the waitlist.

Accredited Training Institute

For more than 65 years, licensed teachers (regular education, special education, ELL, reading, speech/language, and Title 1), paraprofessionals, home educators, parents, and even grandparents have taken our training courses, which are designed to help those who struggle unexpectedly learning to read, write, and spell.

The Orton-Gillingham Approach, as taught by highly qualified Reading Center instructors, employs comprehensive, scientifically based reading instruction. During the Institutes, participants will learn the approach, the structure of the English language, and apply what's been learned by planning and teaching actual lessons. The training is intense but extremely valuable and life changing. Allow time in your schedule for a training of this magnitude.

Online Basic Training Institute to be held February 26 - May 18, 2018

This is the same high-quality, Academy accredited program with a national reputation. The 120 hour course is spread out over 12 weeks, and broken down into 12 modules. This is largely a 1:1 training and trainees will meet regularly online with their master teacher throughout the course.

Tuition paid in full is due at the time of registration: $1,895

Each trainee must find a student (grade 2-4) local to their area that is willing to dedicate the time required to be screened online by a Master Teacher (to determine appropriateness for the practicum). Beyond the initial screening, the student will need to be available two times a week for a total of 12 forty-five minute practicum lesson sessons. Note: All practicum lesson sessions will need to be video recorded.

Minimum technology requirements include: headset, desktop/laptop with camera and microphone, high speed reliable internet connection, printer, and video recording equipment for practicum sessions. Please note a PC is preferred over a MAC when using WebEx software.

Interested trainees are invited to apply for scholarships (updated form available here); however, we will not hold a class spot for anyone until either full tuition has been paid or a scholarship has been granted. It is possible the class will fill with paid trainees before a scholarship has been granted.
